A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation, balancing crisp verticals with gently tapered diagonals. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with a steady, readable rhythm and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes without becoming delicate. Curves are smooth and open, terminals are understated, and the overall texture stays even across lines of text. Numerals follow the same restrained modulation and sit comfortably alongside the capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a familiar serif voice are needed. It can also support headings and subheads in print-like designs when paired with ample leading and margins.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—measured and dependable rather than showy. Its traditional serif detailing suggests editorial authority and a composed, formal voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while preserving classic serif mannerisms. Its proportions and moderate contrast aim to produce an even, comfortable texture in continuous reading.
Capital forms feel stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and conventional shapes. Spacing appears comfortable, supporting a calm paragraph color in the sample text.
